Where Was Barry?

Not at Fenway Park.

He attended an elite exclusive fundraiser in Weston, then boarded his private jet and flew back to Washington.

And this is the ultimate blue state. If you need any more evidence that he despises the people, that he is not a man of the people, that he’d rather hunker down with Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey and discuss the minutiae of policy wonkdom, this is it. That wouldn’t be so bad if he was effective or if his ideas actually worked, but he paired his elitist afternoon with his defensive trip to the home of the Tea Party to reaffirm his commitment to socialism. Let the people eat hot dogs and enjoy their circuses, the message seemed to be, I’ve got money to raise and really important people to impress.
